Climate models provide critical insights into possible low-carbon futures, however their complexity often limits their direct use in policy and finance contexts. How can complex climate models become actionable knowledge for decision-makers?
The Transition Risks modules exploring pathways toward a low-carbon future are part of the SENSES Toolkit and translate climate change scenarios into three practical learning modules that make complex climate data accessible.
Developed in close collaboration with climate scientists, the modules address this challenge by turning scenario-based data into interactive, explorable formats. They focus on transition risks arising from structural changes in the energy system and how these risks affect key sectors: fossil fuels, power generation, and end-use industries. By enabling users to explore pathways the modules support a deeper understanding of how climate scenarios can be assessed, compared, and applied. In doing so, they help bridge the gap between climate modeling and real-world decisions, empowering stakeholders to engage with transition risks in an informed way.
